Not too much to report today. Nic continued to work on the plumbing the basement.

Tony met with a guy from the local power company, Ameren UE. They were discussing the placement of the meter, etc. In the nothing is ever easy category, the meter cannot be under a porch overhang. So if you are building a house which say, has a porch ALL the way around, on ALL four sides, there is a little problem. If the thing it attached to the house, it is maybe a foot wide and three or four feet tall. But if it is not attached to the house it has to have extra shut offs, etc and will be almost five feet wide. UGLY, UGLY, UGLY!!!
Ameren has had a bit of a PR problem lately due to a dam breach on the Taum Sauk reservoir in December 2005 and less than commendable responses after a couple of summer wind storms and ice storms. You would think they would want to avoid more bad press, especially on a world famous blog such as this.
